The Official Black Rock City 50k

How: Pull on your running sneakers, grab a bottle of water or hydration pack, your favorite energy snacks, and hit the playa for one of the most unique and insane 50ks out there. Wear whatever you love best while running – whether that’s a tutu, sports bra and tights, or nothing at all. And be sure to have a Burning Man ticket – it’s impossible to run without one!

Why: Because it’s fun. Because it’s insane. Because it’s the ultimate high. Because you want to challenge yourself. Because we are working on really rad finishers’ presents! Because the race is a party! Because you don’t mind people chasing after you with bottles of whiskey while you run!

What else: Pink Lightning Camp will be the race headquarters, start, finish, and aid station. Stop by to view the big map, results, ask questions, use our foam rollers and running sticks, take a yoga class, run our beer mile, the 5k, run easy, or just hang out with some friendly folks. During the race, we’ll have cocktails, fun, music, and lots of cheering. Have your friends come to the healthiest party on the playa! Come on by to volunteer, hang out, pace, or run!

How much is the race entry fee: This is Burning Man! A wonderful gift economy — no money is exchanged! Putting on a race like this isn’t necessarily “free”….If you want to contribute to help offset the costs (i.e. race clock, race numbers, safety pins, t-shirts, food, water, other supplies & expenses), feel free to donate via PayPal. Thank you!
